The old style *requires* quotes if any parsing delimiters appear in the info
string., e.g. "word1 word2".  The new style would not require the quotes
(this is for Implied Run only, not the :RUN ;info="..." command).  Eg. word1
word2 (no quotes), and word2 is not interpreted as the parm= parameter (as it
would be today).
